Shop News By T. CR1LLEY DRAFTING— In this picture is seen Mr. Augustine presiding over a senior class. In our school there are three types of drafting taught; namely. Architectural, Structural, and Mechanical. 1 he courses include drawing, blue-printing, a n d estima¬ ting. Under the guidance of the able tea¬ chers these departments have turned out very satisfactory graduates. it mat interest the teaching staft to notice that Skop is really working! May¬ be Mr Augustine would explain to the rest of the staff what his secret weapon is. SHEET METAL— This picture shows a busy section of the Sheet metal shop. Mr. Buie has a large shop to supervise here. Students learn the layout work and use this know¬ ledge to make useful articles such as dust¬ pans. ashtrays, and matchboxes. Students who specialize in sheet metal make such projects as Y” unions, reducers, and el¬ bows. . Alex Clvistoff is looking so industrious one might think it wasn t a put up job. COMMERCIAL ART— When people talk of the Technical De¬ partment they may not think of the art group under the direction of Mr. Knight. It is however, a technical subject. Evidence of the work of this group is always near at hand. In the main hall and other spots around the school are drawings made by them. The lwckdrops in the school plays and dramas are credit¬ able examples of their talents. The stu¬ dents do lettering, still lifes. animated scenes, portraits and shadowgraphs. I hey also make a study of anatomy. FOUNDRY— Mr. Lawson i seen with a group m the school foundry. As can be seen, it is a well-equipped shop. I he students use wood patterns and make their own molds. They are taught molding, casting, and metal- lurgv. The shop has a furnace and casting jobs can be done for other shops in the school. . Ed Kocheleau is deeply engrossed tn his favourite and well-practiced occupa¬ tion of standing and looking. Chief blue¬ print reader. Mr. D. Ban well, is seen closely inspecting the. work in order to catch Mr. Lawson ' s mistakes. PRINTING— The printing shop is a blessing to every one in the school. Tickets, programmes, placards, posters, graph paper, and any¬ thing else necessary, are run oif by Mr. Bates and his pupils. This shop is al¬ ways pleasing to visitors. Relatively quiet and brightly illuminated, it is always buz¬ zing with activity. The boys learn hand composition, setting up, and the use ot the presses. Very seriously at work in the picture art John Furgal and Hill Ellis, while Mr. Bates supervises.

25tli Anniversary Edition f H E TOWERS Page Sixty-Nine ON THIS THE OCCASION OF OUR TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY MAY WE BE PERMITTED A GLANCE IN RETROSPECT . . . We see many changes along the way. De¬ partments have been added, courses lengthened, content changed and methods of presentation improved. Probably the greatest change noted because of its physical presence is in the equipment. Starting with comparatively bare walls, there has been added from year to year, machines, tools, apparatus, cabinets, etc., to make the well geared teaching plant we have to-day. Much of this equipment was made in the shops by our pupils. We have every right to be prouJ of this accomplishment. It all required much planning and our plant, as it is to-day, stands as a monument to the foresight and faith of those who envisioned this fine school. To the late Mr. Lowe, Mr. Ross, Mr. Srigley, Mr. Bowden and their able assis¬ tants the credit is given for making our school such a smooth running institution.

25th Anniversary Edition THE TOWERS Page Seventy-One Class News Fuse Blowers Paradise— The job was completed. We had dreamed of success, But along came Stott, To put us to test. The switches were mounted With greatest finesse, We thought our ability To be among the best. The switches were thrown, The lights they did glow, The job he did praise, But the marks were so low. The wires he did check. But the rules were abused, The job we thought perfect, Had blown a fuse. His eyes they did gleam. So small and so sharp, George let out a scream. When he got two for a mark. The torch was burning. So red and so bright. Tail, bending too close, Found his hair soon alight. Hinch came to the rescue, Xot a word was said. As he picked up a hoard. And hit Tait on the head. The day was Friday, The date was the tenth, With Berriman in goal. And Brown in defence. The door it did open, Just the tiniest crack, The puck it did ply. As Skov kicked it back. If ever you are bored. And your mind needs a rest. Come watch the electrician Plav hockev the best. G. TAIT, T3B.
